Are You Sure This Is The Right Career Choice?
  • Being a Notary Public isnt just something that
    anyone can do you have to be licensed and
    qualified in order to legally serve as one in
    most states. Before you start your journey down
    this path, make sure that you meet the
    requirements to become a Notary Public and that
    youve gotten all of the things that are required
    for this job. This list of what you need before
    you become an official Notary Public will help
    guide you along the way.

Start by considering what kind of notary services
you want to provide. Do you want to be a mobile
notary or would it be better if people came to
your office? Do you want to work in the criminal
justice system or the general public? What
languages do you speak and write fluently? You
should also think about how much time can you
devote to being a notary public. Get certified as
a notary public by your states Secretary of
State.
Is It Worth Taking Time Off Work?
Notary services can be expensive, and many people
do not have the time to take off work. However,
if you already work in a profession that requires
a lot of face-to-face interaction, becoming a
notary public is worth it.

How Much Do I Have To Invest?
  • Its also worth considering what type of notary
    services you want to offer. For example, if
    youre often around children or people with
    disabilities, then being a medical notary is
    probably best for you.

The cost of becoming a notary public is generally
low, but there may be a small fee. If youre
looking for more information about how much it
costs to become a notary public in your state,
the bright future 123 provides a list of links to
each states Secretary of State Office. After
signing up for your notary commission, youll
need to purchase a few supplies. A stamp and bond
are necessary to start signing documents as an
official notary public. Youll also want blank
books and durable pens (not pencils) to fill out
paperwork accurately and neatly. Some states
require that new notaries purchase certain
supplies, like seal ink or embossing seals, which
they will sell at their office.
How Long Will It Take Me To Be Ready?
You will need to be on the lookout for good deals
and opportunities because they happen all the
time. Some people have been reported to have sold
their notary seal for 1,000. It is recommended
that you carry a backup seal with you at all
times in case your current one is misplaced or
damaged.

Where Will I Do My Training?
  • After purchasing your new seal, register it in
    each state where you plan on notarizing documents
    by contacting your Secretary of States office.
    Registering your notary seal will help ensure
    that the public recognizes the authenticity of
    your signature and reflects the date when it was
    registered by the Secretary of State. The process
    usually takes around two weeks to complete but
    can vary depending on where you live and how
    quickly other offices work through their backlogs.

The training for becoming a notary public varies
depending on the state in which you apply.
However, there are typically two different types
of notaries 1) a notary public who is appointed
by the state and performs only oaths and
affidavits 2) a notary public who is appointed
by private persons or businesses to perform
certain tasks, such as taking acknowledgments or
administering oaths. Some states require that the
applicant complete a course from an accredited
institution in order to qualify for an
appointment. The National Notary Association
offers courses in many states so be sure to check
with them first.

What Kind Of Course Materials Will I Get If I Buy
From Your Website?
  • Becoming a notary public is not difficult, but
    does require some time and effort on your part.
    The process usually takes about three months to
    complete, but it can take longer if there is a
    backlog of applications.
  • The first step in the process is to find out if
    there is a waiting list for new applicants to
    become notaries. If there isnt, the next step is
    to contact your states Secretary of State office
    (the department that regulates notaries) and find
    out what requirements youll need to meet in
    order to apply for your commission as a notary.
    Usually, this entails filling out various forms
    and taking tests depending on your states
    requirements. You may also have to pay a fee of
    about 200 or so for the application process
    alone.
